[edited to add project specs below]
They're done! All of the ends are woven in, and they're even blocked.
Now, like any good athlete who wins a gold medal, I bet ... I just really want to take a shower.
Edit:
The glove pattern and Fair Isle charts are in Carol Rasmussen Noble's Fair Isle Mittens and Gloves book. I changed up the colors and added fingers (they were fingerless in the book), but otherwise, the pattern is done as written.
The yarn I used is a mix of Paton's Kroy and Regia sock yarn. The Paton's Kroy is the off-white and grayish-brown color, and the rest are Regia.
Woot woot woot! The blocking job looks awesome. I hope D fondles them and sleeps with them on her hands to show them the love they deserve.
